5. Operation
Summary
S
Please refer to the
NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide
(or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if
you are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.
Modes of Operation
The panel operates primarily in either “X-Y mode” or a “multi-destination mode.” A single button
(XY/MD) can toggle between the modes. (The configurer can specify the default mode.)
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y mode
—
individual control of router
levels
. Choose a destination, optionally choose
desired breakaway levels, choosing a source or sources, and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired
route. Sources are taken only on selected levels.
• Multi-destination (MD) mode
—
lets you view and control multiple destinations. The button
tree presents destination devices on selection buttons. You can scroll through the MD device list
using ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons. Select one or more MD devices, choose a source,
and repeat for all desired routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes are “all level,” and breakaways can-
not be performed.
MD mode allows you to make multiple routes in a single take.
• Single-destination mode
—
A single destination is defined during configuration. You have only
to choose a (quick) source. The take is automatic when you are using quick sources.
Single-destination mode is not a distinct mode and actually need not involve only a single des-
tination. It can be combined with X-Y mode or multi-destination mode.
Secondary modes are:
• Setup mode
—
where the NV9642 is freshly powered up, but
disconnected from the network
. In
this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9642’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.
See
• Salvo mode
—
pressing a ‘Salvo’ button and then a ‘Take’ button executes a salvo. The duration
of a salvo is indeterminate, but typically very brief.
• Menu mode
—
pressing a ‘Menu’ button places the NV9642 in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the LCD button array becomes a menu button panel that changes as needed during menu opera-
tion. Some menu data are presented on the alphanumeric display.
The menu button is for operators. There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except
LCD brightness. An operator may use the menu to set LCD brightness. Administrators and con-
figurers may use the menu to view or change the panel ID, or to determine the software and
firmware revisions.
See
Button Legends
There are many different button function types (about 31) and the legend that appears on any button
varies with the type and depends on the configurer’s intentions. Button legends have 3 lines of 8
characters. One or more lines of a button legend can be blank.
Buttons are also color-coded. The colors are specified in the NV9642 configuration. In most cases,
buttons that are high-tally (bright) are active or selected. Buttons that are low-tally (muted) are
inactive or unselected. Buttons that are dark either have no function or are momentarily disabled.
